JoHN WESLEY, who was a keen
observer of human nature, said in
q letter dated Dublin, 1747 "For

Notwithstanding the bitterness en-
gendered in more than century
since that was written the same
thing may be said to day of the Irish

THE newspapers throughout the
country appear to be making the
most of their opportunity for plac-

much and does not count for much.

THE newspapers and the Metho-
dist ministers are at variance as to
the manner of reporting their pro-
ceedings, and they have adopted
resolutions excluding the reporters
from their meetings. This seems
to us rather bad spirit on the part
of the reverned clergy, and will only
make the reporters more indus
trious in the matter. We attended
ministers meeting once where a
similar effort was made to exclude
the reporters from the room, when
an old gray-haired man arose and
said Brethren, you might as we'll
try to stop the birds from flying or
the wind from blowing, as to try to
prevent the newspapers of the pres
ent day from publishing the news.
Let them publish everything-there
will not be half the publicity given
to your proceedings as their would
be if you go to exclude the news
paper reporters" The old man
was right and his point prevailed.

"CIGARETTE SMOKING is doing
more injury to the eyes than any
thing I know of" said an optician
recently to reporter for news
paper. In the same journal some
body gives this advice about caring
for the eyes : Keep a shade on your
lamp or gas burner. Avoid all sud-
den changes between light and
darkness. Never begin to read,
write or sew for several minutes
after coming from darkness to light.
Never read by twilight, moonlight
or on cloudy days. Never read or
sew directly in front of the light,
window or door. 1t is best to let
the light fall from above obliquely
over the left shoulder. Never sleep
so that on first awakening the eyes
shall open on the light of window.
Do not use the eyesight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to
discriminate. The moment YOU
are instinctiyely prompted to rub
your eyes that mement stop using
them. If the eyelids are glued to.
gether on waking up do not forci-
bly, open them, but apply saliva
with the finger, it is the speediest
delutant in the world; then wash
your eyes and face in warm water.

TIE STATE SUE PeRIErENDENrs VIEWS
ON THE COUNTY sUPERINTRND-
ENCY QUESTION.

There ls q great deal being said at the
present time In regard to the election Of a
county superintendent Of schools. In look
ing over the PennsyLSRnia School Journal
of this month We find an Important article
on this matter from the Ssate SuPerinteRd
ent Of PwbRc Instruction, Hon. f. e. Hig-
bee. Hts VuaRvnt intellectual attachments,
a,is knowledge Sd the necessities RAd bni-
portancc Of scasool supervision, as ~'5l as
his position as the head of the public
schools Of tlhis State, entitle his words TO
carefvsl consideration by the directors Of tire
county. The State Superintendent iscei-
1ainly unbiased, and speaks purely for the
best interests Of the schools. We commend
the article to the uboughUtza consideration
of an ahterested, and priRt 1t verbatim.
PROFESSIONAL oUALIFscAuoSs.
at Is provided in the law THAT a person
cannot hold the office Of superintendent of
schools unless he has had successful ex-
perience wathtn three years Of the time Of
his election. The spirit of this provision
is, that superintendent must be profes-
sional teacher-not q id,eyer, doctor, min
lister or a member of some other profes.
sion, desiring TO hold the Office until a way
opens to engage sa soEnstaing else.
"The Office ct superintendent of school:
belongs TO the teachers; 1t Aas TO do witt
teachers, and should always be filed by ,
teacher If directors can find in . county
q teacher devoted to his profession, wllc
always attends Institutes, who reads works
on teaching, who advocates common
schools, who, like Richter, loves Goo ant
little children; who, IN short, is something
OF an enthusiast In his work; he, in al
probability, is the man to make superin
tendent Of the work of education, ever
though he has not been to college.
''Superintendents ought to be paid liber
al salaries. Their work, when well done
Is both delicate and difficult. Good officer

The judges of our courts and other count,

Saturdays run to Dorchester was not far
frcm fifty miles. and the Sundays ride, via

Monday the road to Exeter, via Beer and the

which with ten miles Wednesday morning
made total mileage of All miles i'll twelve
days, or about thfrty-four miles Gay The
cost OF the trip for the two of us was about a
pound Or SIS per day, without counting any
extra expenses, such as carriage for the New
